cause for alarm. The report also shows
thatin the opinion Of the Committee it wculd

cialists held meeting at No. IL West
Lake street, to-day, and adopted reso-
lutiOns protesting against the passage of a

derOuS Fight
PrrTsBURG, January 3O-Clark's Court,
retreat for Italians on Seventh avenue,
MAS the scene of 4 small sized riot this
evening, in which four men were seriously
stabbed The fracas was caused by
Michael CATALONIA refusing to allow two
unknown Italians to sleep at his
house till they could obtain work. The
strangers went next door, where there was
christening in progress, and told Of
Catalona's inhoSpitable treatment. When
the latter came in to participate in the
festivities, he was upbraided for his con-
duct and finally some one struck him.
This was signal for free fight. Fully
fifty Italians took part in the ailray and
knives, razOrs aud pistols were freely
used.
Every article of furniture in the house
was wrecked and the rioters then with
drew to the court where the fight was
kept up until 4 report that the police were
coming, dispersed the mob. -Four of the
participants, Michael CATALONIA, Darri
Ball, AnquStini Amend and Inenzo DatO,
were found To he seriously wounded. The
two former have ugly cuts in their sides
and will probably die.
Amend and DItO were terribly gashed
about their faces and breasts, but none of
the wounds were deep enough to kill.
Eleven Italians, who were in bed feigning
sleep when the police arrived, were arrest
ell and will be held for riot.
